Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar

These low-profile, aerodynamic Vortex Aero crossbars let you build a stylish aftermarket roof rack from scratch. The crossbars require 4 Rhino-Rack legs (manufactured in 2014 or later) and a custom fit kit to mount it to your roof. Each bar extends past the roof rack legs to maximize the space for mounting carriers and accessories. Rubberized Vortex strips in each crossbar's top channel disrupt airflow for a quiet ride, and the bars are constructed of aluminum so they won't rust. The crossbars also include Secure Core endcaps with plastic locks to help deter theft of channel-mounted accessories.


Aerodynamic Design

Vortex Aero noise-reducing top channel strips

The rubberized Vortex strips in the top channel of each crossbar disrupt airflow with evenly spaced, wave-shaped grooves. This carefully controlled turbulence minimizes wind noise and whistling, so you won't need to add a fairing to your roof rack. And the slim, elliptical Vortex Aero crossbars cut through the air with minimal drag - even at highway speeds.


Strong, Durable Construction

Vortex Aero crossbar H-shaped extrusion

The Vortex Aero crossbars are made of structural-grade anodized aluminum with H-shaped internal extrusions. These extrusions strengthen the bars without adding a significant amount of weight. And the aluminum bars won't rust so you can leave them on your roof year-round.


No-Hassle Installation

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bottom channel ruler

Each crossbar has a channel in the bottom for mounting to Rhino-Rack roof rack legs (sold separately). Each end of the channel includes a rubber ruler to help you center the bar on your roof. Simply use the numbers and hash marks on the rulers to ensure the legs are spaced properly in the channel.


Channel-Mounted and Clamp-On Accessories

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar top-channel strips

Each Vortex Aero crossbar has a built-in C-channel so you can carry channel-mounted accessories such as bike racks, watersport carriers, and ski racks. The Vortex strips in the top channels come in 3 pieces, so they're easier to adjust than a single long, continuous strip. You can remove, trim, and re-insert the Vortex strips around the mounting hardware of your accessories to keep the crossbar channel capped and quiet. Replacement strips (sold separately) are also available if you remove your accessories or switch to clamp-on accessories.


You can also attach most clamp-on accessories to the bars, and the Vortex strips provide a shock-absorbing, no-slip cushion for any accessories that rest on them.


Built-In Security

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Secure Core locking endcaps

Each crossbar includes 2 Secure Core locking endcaps made of durable polypropylene. These endcaps lock with a universal tubular key. The polypropylene locks secure the endcaps to the crossbars and help to secure channel-mounted accessories to the crossbars. For maximum security, you can upgrade to endcaps with all-metal lock cores (RRVA-LEC4 - sold separately).

I am very happy with my purchase of the 2500 Series Rhino Roof Rack system from etrailer. I wanted to transport a Mohawk Intrepid 16’ canoe from Pagosa Springs to my home in Albuquerque that my good friend left me when he passed. We used to run the Chama River from El Vado Dam to just short of Big Eddy, a great overnight trip of 22 miles. I didn’t know what I needed in a roof rack for my Toyota Tacoma full cab but Alyssa at etrailer was very helpful and so pleasant. The delivery was quick and the installation was pretty easy (the videos on etrailer’s website were a big help). The day I drove from Pagosa to ABQ, Feb 26, 2023, it was very windy, 40 mph gusting to 60 mph! Not an ideal day to be carrying a canoe on the roof! But the Rhino Rack was rock solid and the canoe didn’t budge, even though my truck was getting getting pushed around. I’ve left the rack on because I like the way it looks! (PS. I added another strap to the back rack after I took the photo) Highly recommend etrailer to anyone considering purchasing a roof rack!

Still 100 happy and satisfied with the Rhino Rack! In addition to the intended use, an added bonus is that it helps me find my truck in a crowded parking lot!

I wanted to share the items I used to be able to haul two Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145 kayaks on my 2006 Scion xB. This may help others who struggle with deciding what to use. I am pleased with my purchase and hope this helps. I originally thought I wanted the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero, but they discontinued making the fit kit for their roof rack systems and I ended up going with the Kuats. I am glad that they didn’t make the fit kit for approximately $[XX] and so they missed out on the rest of my business. Here are the items I used for anyone interested – pictures included. Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof #DK138, Kuat Class 4 V2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - 1 Kayak - Black #KU53VR and these are really cool, Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 #RRRLKVA, Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 #RRVA137-B2. The 54” crossbars fit really well and the perfect length in my opinion and it doesn’t stick out like the longer ones would. Also purchased two sets of these Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 #MPG308.

Hello, I am having a problem with a part of the legs for my crossbars. The Bolt and its rectangular metal plate that holds the leg onto the crossbar is stripped. I used this product last year during the summer. The crossbars were taken off during the winter and stored. I went to replace them on the car yesterday and found these parts to be stripped. I can't use the crossbar without an new piece. I need customer service to ship me out a new bolt and plate.

The selection process that etrailer uses is top-notch. This really helped narrow down the choices for my 2019 RAM Quad cab. I bought this all kitted together. The assembly process is very straightforward and well-documented. I would highly recommend etrailer as a source for vehicle accessories. I have Yakima bike racks on our Subaru and this is as good if not better.

I shopped online retailers namely Amazon and EBAY looking for the cross bar setup I would need for my 2012 Toyota Camry LE. My Camry has a naked roof. The whole experience was confusing. None of the needed components were combined together. I found each component listed separately but nothing to indicate they were the correct components for my car. Then ETRAILER.COM popped up in my search. I simply entered my car’s year, make, and model, and answered the question about the car roof (being naked with no factory installed cargo bars) and suddenly I had a list of the available cross bars for my vehicle with all the necessary components to install them. One or two clicks put the whole thing in my cart for purchase. ETRAILER .COM is your one stop shop. As a side note I purchased Yakima ski racks on sale to install on these cross bars. Another customer asked if these ski racks would fit his car and I explained yes they will with the appropriate cross bars. I sent him to “ETRAILER.COM” so he could get the correct setup. Pictures forthcoming.



by: Rich08/26/2022

Look how nice my crossbars look? I ordered these and paid extra for expedited shipping so that I could have them to put a luggage carrier on my roof. The legs for the crossbars never showed up and the crossbars came late as well. I ran out and got a trailer hitch basket for extra storage. Tack on an extra $[XX] in addition to the extra $$ for fast shipping and I'm $[XX] into these crossbars that I couldn't use for their intended purpose. I called early enough that the company could have overnighted the legs but they just kept blaming UPS. Very disappointed.

The Rhino Racks Vortex Aero are solid. My first drive with them was to Brighton Utah from Riverside California. They were not only secure throughout the drive and hard winds, they were also reasonably quiet. On top I attached a Thule Force L 628 roof box and it fits perfectly. The only complaints I have are how difficult it was to install the racks to my fixed points. It took several friends, a mechanic, and two days to get everything right.



by: Robert06/17/2023

Good price. Came quickly. Although one of the cross bar boxes was open when delivered, everything was complete and undamaged. Be sure to check inside the cross bars for the rubber strips!!

etrailer.com's videos and additional customer support made the purchase of a Rhino Rack system from them for our 2010 Malibu a no brainer. The rack fit the car perfectly, and with the videos and clear instructions that came with the kit, I got it installed on the car with only one misstep. The instructions came the the measurements in centimeters and inches. I didn't have a metric tape measure, and ended up messing up converting fractions to decimal.
My Daughter is going to college 500 miles away and is moving into an unfurnished apartment and needed to pick up some small furniture that wouldn't fit in her Malibu. She purchased several items from Facebook Marketplace and was able to transport a twin bed and mattress, a medium sized desk and some dining room chairs (in several trips) with no problems.
The only thing I can think of to improve the installation would be to have the Inches measurements in decimal or to include an inexpensive metric tape.

Still rock solid after a year. Very happy with the Rack. My daughter has used it from time to time over the past year when something wont fit in her car, and shes had no problems with it at all.



by: Dan 03/11/2018

Bought this rack to carry canoe, etc. while towing our camper. Installation is easy with one person so long as you take your time to get the original setup meticulously correct. If you're planning to put it on only occasionally when you're using it, it's 10 to 15 minutes for one person to install once the original setup is done and the clamp points marked with the little unobtrusive stickers they send with the kit. Originally planned to put it on only when using because we only really need it a couple times a year (we just throw the canoe in the back for local trips). Looks good enough we might leave it on all the time. Even thought I didn't know I needed it until I was already at the store, it certainly came in handy bringing home a 10 foot long 2x8 on a rainy day when I needed to keep the bed cover closed. etrailer's service was prompt and flawless as always.

The racks fit perfectly! They are a great fit to my car. They don’t interfere with the sunroof’s operation. I assembled it on my own with no difficulty. It was easy to assemble. The directions it provides to you are easy to follow. The only down side was getting the plastic pieces to lock on the ends of the bars. Other than that they are great and they look great on my car! I plan to use them to transport kayaks! They are very sturdy and very trust worthy for transporting a couple of kayaks. I recommend these racks to anyone who has a 2016 or 2017 Nissan Altima!

This rack has been great! I have had no problems with it.



by: Andrew03/26/2024

Great rack for a great price. I tried an Amazon knock off, and that was a piece of junk. The Rhino rack is relatively easy to install, is very secure, and has lots of accessories.



by: J03/06/2024

The installed rack has done the job well and after installing and breaking down after one ski season and then reinstalling for the next season, no issues or problems to report. Everything has worked out great.



by: Lee10/01/2022

The rack was easy to install and after some adjustment, it holds well to the roof. It is well made and strong. It holds my light rack on very well at high speeds and hard cornering. Conclusion, its a great rack for a vehicle that doesn't have factory rack mounts. Installation will go easier with a friend to help.

Excellent price and quick shipping. Excellent support for missing bar end cap. Rack was easy to put together and install and video was helpful. My only complaint is when trying to tie down kayak to cradle it is not easy to keep the loop over the top of the upright "U" shaped bar, it keeps siding down. We wrapped two pieces of foam around the bar to create a channel to hold the strap now it is easy.

Goodness! Did the whole foot come off the rack or jut the end cap? I have heard of the end caps being lost however not typically the whole roof rack foot.



by: Duncan06/24/2023

I bought the complete set (mounting points, mounts and aero cross bars) looking for a less expensive approach for a rack to carry my sea kayak. The equipment shipped quickly from or via etrailer. The instructions that came with the whole kit leave a little bit to be desired and a little bit of mechanical interpretation is needed to figure out what parts you need and which you don't. The whole set went together relatively easily in an hour or so. I remove the bars, mounts and mounting points when not in use which is a bit time consuming and fiddly. I had to replace the mazda 3's roof moulding which was continuous with one that had the necessary pop out pieces to accept the rack but this was not costly nor a big job. Overall, I am pleased with the rhino rack and it looks just fine. The one area it could be improved is wind noise - at some speeds there can be quite a heavy drone either off the bars or mounts. The bars do have rubber inserts to smooth out the surface across the width of the car. I suspect it might be the mounts which have the inboard side of them completely open so the air flowing along the car goes over this open space like you would have happen when you blow across the top of a bottle. I am going to try to cover the sides with gorilla tape to see if this makes a difference. Apart from that, I am quite happy with the etrailer ordering, delivery and the Rhino rack in general.



by: Rio06/03/2020

Love the bars, I had gotten the other rack parts from different suppliers. I love the look and sleek design of the Rhino Rack. I did the 2500 vortex on a 2016 Subaru Impreza sedan and it fits great and looks even better.



by: Robert05/30/2022

I purchased the complete 2500 Series system which included the crossbars, legs and fit kit for my 2018 Honda Fit so I could transport my kayak.. They were well packaged and their quality is quite evident. I did struggle a little following the assembly instructions but with some patience and watching a video it went well. Two items to be aware of. The front and rear leg clamps are of different lengths with the longer clamps going on the rear crossbar. The other issue was positioning the crossbars. After following the measurements for attaching the legs to the crossbars it was quite clear that the measurement for the rear crossbar was wrong. Placing the legs as instructed didn't allow the rear crossbars to be the 29 17/32 inches from the front crossbar but required me to move it back to 31 1/2 inches. There is a very faint whistle while driving around 30 to 35 mph but it's not annoying. I was so pleased with the fit and finish I went ahead and purchased the Rhino Rack S-loader to make it easier for me to lift my kayak onto the crossbars. I would definitely recommend both items.

This roof rack works great! At first I was skeptical about putting a rack on my IS250, but it couldn't have turned out better. Paired with the Yakima Highroad, I can easily transport my bikes around without worrying about anything coming loose while driving. The installation instructions for the legs and bars are pretty straightforward. Takes about 30-45 minutes total to install.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Equinox with Naked Roof

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Chevy Sonic
  • The track mounted roof racks all use the same dimensions for the channels. They all use a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch channel and we have found that the feet kits of the racks all fit in the same channels. That being said, the roof of your vehicle has a curve to it and mounting tracks to it would not be an ideal solution. Plus it will permanently modify the roof. The track setups really should only be used on flat surfaces like pop up campers and truck bed camper shells. The best solution will

The RS 2500 with Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRS490 uses the aero bars which are much more aerodynamic than the square bars which reduces wind noise. In addition to the shape, the rubberized Vortex strips in the channels work to reduce drag and therefore cut down on noise. This system also sits flush with the legs so it has a more factory look

This will allow you to use the slide-open feature of the sunroof, but I cannot say with certainty if it will allow you to tilt open the sunroof or not as that could possibly cause some interference; Rhino-Rack was also not able to confirm compatibility with the tilt feature. You will want to add

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2007 Nissan Altima
  • Yes, the Rhino Rack Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK168 is a confirmed fit for your son's 2007 Nissan Altima and would work great for carrying a kayak carrier and bike racks.

Then for a bike rack we have the RockyMounts TieRod part # RKY1012 which would fit and work well.

  • Aero-Style Roof Rack for 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan with Moonroof
  • We have lots of choices for a roof rack for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan that has a naked roof and moon roof feature and you can see all of them on the linked page. In general people find that the noise created by any roof rack tends to make it a better idea to keep the moon roof closed. Some racks do allow the moon roof to open but the items you might choose to mount to a roof rack, such as a bike or cargo carrier, could interfere with the opening/closing of the moon roof so it really

  • Roof Rack to Carry 2 Kayaks on the Roof of a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
  • You will be able to carry 2 kayaks on the roof of your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 if it is a Crew Cab or Double Cab by installing a roof rack. I recommend Rhino-Rack roof rack using # RRVA150S-2 for the bars, # RRRLKVA for the feet, and # DK377 for the custom clamp kit. Then you can use kayak carrier # S512 which holds 1 kayak and then add # RRS512X which will allow you to carry a second kayak. If you have a regular cab or don't want to use a roof rack then another option for all 4 kayaks

  • Options For Carrying 2 Kayaks On The Roof Of A 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  • I have a solution for you, but there are not any ladder racks for your 2013 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab with 6' bed that can be used with a toneau bed cover. If you would like to remove your tonneau cover then you could use T-Rac Pro2 Ladder Rack # TH37004XT. This is a really nice ladder rack that has an impressive weight capacity of 1,000lbs. The two crossbars have built-in channels which allow many accessories to be mounted. If you would like to keep your bed cover then your only option

  • Roof Rack for a 2018 NO BO 19.7 Travel Trailer
  • I did some checking and the 2018 NO BO 19.7 uses Rhino-Rack roof rack components as part of their option Overlander Package on the 19 series. The bars themselves are # RRVA180B-2 for a pair. The feet it uses are track mount feet. What I do not know is if the roof already has the tracks or if those are also needed to add the rack. It might be a bit of a chore to check but if you see tracks at the back of the roof then you would not need to add them separately. If it does not have the

  • Can 17 Kayak And Bike Be Mounted On Upper Level of Yakima EasyRider Trailer Y08129?
  • You are correct that a 17' sea kayak or canoe can be mounted on the upper bars of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer item # Y08129, and still have room for a bike rack due to the 78" long upper crossbars. I recommend using the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On item # Y02114 which will allow you to mount the bike to the upper crossbars. To keep the kayaks from resting directly on the lower bars of the item # Y08129 I recommend using the Malone SaddleUp

  • Roof Rack and watersports carriers for 2017 Nissan Frontier naked roof
  • The roof rack systems that attach to the door jam / gutter of your vehicle are actually very reliable and sturdy. This is a common setup and I am confident you won't have issues with this mounting style; and this way you won't be drilling into the roof of a newer vehicle. For your 2017 Nissan Frontier with naked roof, I recommend going with Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 54" # RRVA137B-2 and Mounting Legs # RRRLKVA. These crossbars are aerodynamic which means less wind noise than other

  • Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbar Compatibility with Thule AeroBlade
  • Although the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs are very similar to the Thule foot packs, the tab that fits into the Thule AeroBlade load bars is slightly too big and the grooves on the 2500 Series Leg do not sit flush with the AeroBlade load bar. I went out and tested them together myself. If you already have the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, then for a complete roof rack on your 2014 Infiniti Q50 you will just need the Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA118S-2 for Silver or part

  • Can Kvh Satellite Dish Antenna be Mounted to Crossbars or Roof of 2014 Ford Taurus
  • According to the installation instructions for the Kvh Satellite Dish that I reviewed online you will require a crossbar spread of 35-1/2" to mount the antenna to a roof rack. However, the roof rack systems available for the 2014 Ford Taurus max out at a crossbar spread of 28 inches, so the dish will not be compatible with your vehicle's short roof. We do offer the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack, # DTA968, (you will need two of these). These bars could be spread to
